Young, wide-eyed Hirasawa... WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?! XD

[nicapo]

これはもしかして「６００こちら情報部」？

[S0ulman2]

I would like to see him do an encore of this now....

[S0ulman2]

My god... he's emoting.... what happened

[ilovemacarenz]

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

three of my favorite bands start with P. Polysics, Plastics, P-Model... the other one is Queen

[BrentonSucks]

[faniramone]

COOL!!!!!!~~

[Meteotrance]

WHY TELL ME WHY WE DON'T KNOW this Hirasawa Susumu and his genious band P-MODEL in the 80's it's so Fresh today (like Devo new song ^^) !!! i discover this guy with Berzerk and be happy when i listen, it was a huge influence for Polysics.

[N0cTul2n4L87]

I Love this song, i also like the cover by Polysics but i can't seem to find it anymore!!! >.<

[puppetMattster]

@N0cTul2n4L87

[noisesionoise]

he sings like cui jian XD, great beand

[Bringerofnoodles]

Ok I've posted this two times before. Susumu Hirasawa, Koichi Makigami, and Damo Suzuki will have to start a supergroup or else the universe will fall apart.

[parkiecharler]

they look young in this picture. coz the caption in the opening scene says "in the spring of 1980 whats techno pop?" this was filmed 30 decades ago.

[parkiecharler]

what a simple mistake ive made. i meant to say the video is from THREE decades ago.

anyhow i would have to say that theres too much of a gap between mandrake and early p-model.

[idontknough]

One of my dream concert's lineup consists of DEVO, P-MODEL, and POLYSICS

The level of awesome would melt my face 3 times over!

[puppetMattster]

@idontknough

Here here! I saw POLYSICS last week at the Roxy and my face melted. Sucks not having a face, but the show was awesome!

[idontknough]

@puppetMattster

Hooray for melted faces! Yeah I've seen Polysics twice and they put on one of the most energetic shows i've been to.

Sucks that I missed this tour. This is their last time touring with KAYO!!!! :(

[NUTWAVE]

[gummybits]

looks like yamaha cs 60, how you doin?

[Merzbowxnoise]

Hikashu and P-Model.

Legendary!

[areklonczak]

o kurwa skosnookie disco

[Neoia]

not to be stupid or anything, but does anybody know where to find the english lyrics to this song? .-.

[rodneybrett]

I own every P-MODEL album, they are one of my all time favorite bands from Japan. IHOJIN(Alien) is my favorite song from them, from the Landscale album.

[GAFFTV]

Frightful, positively frightful. However I'm sure I'll be checking out more of these guys soon...

[subclonk]

I bet if you slowed it down from 45 to 33 it'd sound good :P

hmmm... think i'll try that now (* cracks out the mpc but wished he had an sp1200)

[AbuKoji88]

Un Hirasawa immenso...

[soapyshoes]

holy shit, I can definitely see where the polysics got their influence

[JunianoUY]

Yeah man, P-Model is Polysic's father! Though Poly is just so god damn awesome.. I'd love to see what a line up with TSPO and Polysics would sound like

[jeannec1]

Polysics, don't get me wrong I love them, also squeezes DEVO for all it's worth.

[classicryan]

True. I would like to see Polysics come out with some stuff that is less DEVO-inspired and more original. That said, Polysics still kicks ass.

[InvisibleSandwichTM]

I'd say their later albums are less Devo-inspired - especially We Ate The Machine, which has more of a hard rock/heavy metal vibe to it, comparatively (tracks 4 and 7 for instance).

[puppetMattster]

@InvisibleSandwichTM

Responding to an old post here, but We Ate the Machine's "Pony & Lion" and DEVO's "Ton of Love" from the Freedom of Choice album have ALMOST the exact same opening drum beats. Good songs by the way.

DEVO: watch?v=RTGrHXG77oc

POLYSICS: watch?v=yS8UA40BkU0

[kentwidman]

@soapyshoes

I think Devo was a bigger influence as well on polysics.

[littbarsky89]

incredible :P

[VoodooTurtle]

FU!N

[KazuoKiriyama666]

It sort of makes you laugh at how much Susumu has changed over the years, eh?

[K3NJehXD]

It does. Over here during P-MODEL's new wave era, he's having fun himself. Then a couple years later during One Pattern and beyond, he's changed a bit. Somewhat more serious, but still having fun; making the audience wow using plenty of his own guitar tricks as well as being cool (See the end of the Cyborg videos and the trick he uses during An Expert Mountain.) He just loves to entertain his audience with those.

[triplenippel123]

is that a cr 78 at the beginning ( and all the way thru ) ?

[K3NJehXD]

I can't see the Roland CR 78. Sadatoshi Tainaka is doing all the drumming, though.

[JazzSheep]

Wow, these guys were a huge influence on Polysics. They don't seem so interesting anymore.

[MonkeysWithFirearms]

Don't get me wrong. Polysics are good, but in my opinion, P-MODEL is better. I think I just prefer the old school sound, though.

[tirethminet]

pretty much all music is 1000x more awesome in person at lives and such.

also, with a visual distracting the mind, human nature is to look at the picture than listen to the sound.

so you may appreciate it more in a different scenario.

[Meteotrance]

Just 30 Years of advance on is time ^^ !!!

I love Hirasawa so much why the occident dont look at this before, fuck !!!

[pepiflor]

awesome! 5 stars

[spinthespin]

p-model rules

[JoshAP2007]

i like hirasawa's dance thing he does, and the drummer owns. and oh, the song's not too bad either lol.

[K3NJehXD]

Get the fuck out.

[1337cyklist]

kines jävlar!!!

[K3NJehXD]

You. Get the fuck out.

[demonicprophet]

Damn a bunch of great p-model vids arnt on youtube anymore noooooooooo!

I love this vid but alot of other great ones like bigfoot,speed tube etc etc are gone now i hope someone will upload them again T_T

[K3NJehXD]

I still have Zebra, Oyasumi Dog, and Speed Tube somewhere on my computer.

[demonicprophet]

if i could get ahold of those vids plus the bigfoot and the other FU-RU-HE-HE-HE vid that was up i would be the happiest person. i just found this site that can convert youtube vids into mp4 format to download and i was gonna put the vids onto my ipod but when i went to get them they where all gone.

[JoshAP2007]

you should definitely upload them if you have them. more p-model is always good.

[K3NJehXD]

I uploaded more P-MODEL. Zebra, Oyasumi Dog, and Solid Air are now in my profile along with a couple songs from Susumu Hirasawa.

[PunkTiger]

As a rabid Polysics fan, I am now officially interested in P-Model. Or, if I may cliche here: "I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter."

[cambot]

Definitely, you must get "In A Model Room"; it's incredible. Their two albums after that didn't really do anything for me, but maybe you'll like them *shrug*. But after that, they went really heavy industrial synth (like Ladytron), and not like this sound at all.

[JenovaXiu]

Hahaha, the 80's.

[flateric4you]

this shit owns

[genkiyo]

Hirasawa Susumu is after Sakamoto the key figure of

electronic rock in Japan- P-Model still kicks ass!

[obuffet]

Thanx HitoToAbura for all those ufoS from Japan.

[kawauso230]

I can see that the influences on polysics were not only DEVO.

The Japanese "techno pop" of 80's has clearly influenced them.

[jables99]

very cool stuff. never heard of this before. if devo were japanese...

[Watarai]

If devo were japanese they would be less popular because p-model is much better =)

[kappappa]

P-Model definitely owe something to Devo themselves though, since Devo came first. Just as Devo owes a lot to Kraftwerk. They are all awesome, though.

[Watarai]

true, true! ^^ I love kraftwerk.

[eugeneohanlon]

Devo owes nothing to kraftwerk. just listen to their early albums, by that i mean both bands.

[kappappa]

Didn't mean to take anything away from Devo. They had extremely diverse influences, and lots of them. Early Devo, like what you hear on the Hardcore albums, is a completely different animal. I think on the Mark Mothersbaugh half of Devo though you can definitely hear Kraftwerk influence, maybe even as early as their first album, absolutely on Duty Now For The Future. I was thinking their look was inspired by Kraftwerk but I may have been wrong.

[kappappa]

Maybe I should have said Captain Beefheart.

[SantaDog]

If controlled time travel were only possible. I would have given my right arm and left testicle to see this band in thier prime.
